valuable suggestions for each task and followed by consolidation of work by
the team after the approval of the project leader. Team checkpoint meetings
as well informally daily checking with teams and individuals on their work.

Individual Progress
(7.5)
Re-planning:
Describe how
‘re-planning’ will be used if the project goes off track
As student autonomy has to be
provided to enable them to achieve their behavioral changes, there is a risk
of the project going off track and hence additional time allowance will be
kept in the design of the project for handling overrun within the stipulated
deadlines of the overall project. There is an option for homework to be used
to catch up if necessary.
|
(7.6) Conflict
Management:
Describe how to
address problems related to participation, offer approaches to manage other
conflicts that may arise.
The project
envisions a long term achievement of
lifestyle, development of interpersonal skills as well as behavioral changes
in its members and further through them to the society, the conflict
management part has to be dealt with utmost care and concern. Hence the
project leads role becomes pivotal.
To ensure
that things goes smoothly within the team, the rule of presenting ones’ view and
accepting others and thereby shedding egos will be considered the most
important change and teamwork
rules will be included in project launch presentation.
Students
are asked to initially try to work out conflicts on their own. In the case of
a deadlock, issues are to be raised with the teacher.
Lack of
participation will be dealt sympathetically and project lead will ensure that each
child attains his minimal level of learning through the given task and will
provide necessary scaffolds to build his ability, confidence and thereafter
attain his role in the task.
